"Dragon Ball Kai" FUNimation Home Video Release News & Discussion

Zach confirms the first set will be 13 episodes, meaning it will end with
Gok
 
Interesting. I don't see what they're trying to do here. Does this mean Kyle Hebert won't be returning as Teen Gohan should Kai ever get that far?

The ones being recast really didn't need to be, unless those actors are no longer available. That's really a shame that no one else has been recast thus far, unless the original actors are going to give a completely different performance. Still, there's no way Linda Young can make Freeza sound right.

I have a feeling this will be a "one and done" for me. I'll buy the first Blu-ray to come out just to see how it looks, and that'll be it. Dragon Boxes all the way.
 
Well, I'm pretty much happy the same old dub cast is back on. If they change the whole dub cast, I won't be ever thinking about geting DBKai.
And, the DBKai JP dub got there whole VA back.


They call those things “cliff-hangers”! Not a very good one, but enough for some ppl to keep on buying the DVD's.
Speaking of episodes, what episode is DBKai at? Sorry, but after watching episode 16 on DBKai kind of killed me watching the whole series.
 
Woow, really? I thought it will be around the 60+ episodes by now. Hmmm, is it me or FUNi gaining the rights and getting readying to produce DVD was kind of...Quick? I mean, the series is not done yet and or the series doesn't have enough episodes yet.....
 
I was expecting Brina Palencia to replace Monica Antonelli for those roles, as she had done so for the recent video games. The others I really did not expect, especially no longer having Stephanie Nadolny as Gohan. I'll be interested in hearing Colleen's Gohan.
 
According to Hebert FUNimation feels every new Dragon Ball series should have a different narrator...which is why we have Doc Morgan for Dragon Ball Kai.



Doing thirteen episodes every few months will allow them to stay behind Japan. We'll see maybe two or three sets in 2010 and the rest in the year following. Dragon Ball Kai is planned for ninety-nine episodes as it is, so it'll be Marchish 2011 when the series is finished in Japan.
 
...what the heck happened to Tiffany Volner and Stephanie Nadolny? They're keeping Frieza's dreadful voice and replacing Bulma's and Gohan's? Don't they still work for FUNimation?

The only good thing is no more ear-shattering Puar voice.
 
I doubt they've stepped into a FUNimation booth in five years. The video games were all recorded at Okratron5000 and neither has been in a FUNimation show for as long as I can remeraber. Pretty much the only voice actors still left from the newspaper ad days are Sabat, McFarland, Burgmeir, Cason, Strait, and...yeah, that's it actually...
